1. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

   ckypp replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sure all nurses would love their nursing careers again if the RN:patient ratio was 1:2. That would just be heavenly and nobody would have a problem with working 12s. Watch out world, cuz imma make it happen!

2. I just have to know NOW! Really?

   ckypp replied to nurseprnRN's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, thank you! I feel like a lot of people just come here to vent and post their frustrations. Granted, this is a "venting" post but it was definitely needed. I don't know all the steps involved with processing nclex results, but I'm sure it's a gre...

3. Reddit and HIPAA

   HIPAA indeed. Some people just aren't meant to use the internet...

4. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

   ckypp replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

   I know a lot of nurses that use those 4 days to go to Vegas pretty much every week.

5. Failed my nclex...new att? Help please!!!!

   ckypp replied to morg's topic in NCLEX

   Oh the dreaded retake procedure. I am too familiar with it so I will help you out. After failing, there is a waiting period depending on which state you live in. In California, it is 45 days, and some states it is 90 days. That waiting period is the ...

6. Stressed out.got my att should i scheduled now or wait till i feel like ready

   ckypp replied to louiseraphelle's topic in NCLEX

   Plan out a study schedule first. Make sure you can study for at least 2 hours a day (bare minimum), which you should spend doing lots of practice questions. Since you graduated last year, I'm sure you'll need a lot of refreshers (content review), I'd...

7. Looking for study tips that really work.

8. Maternity/Pediatrics Questions

   ckypp replied to designer-mommy's topic in NCLEX

   Nclex test questions vary from person to person. I had plenty of med/math questions whereas my friends got very few. I believe the Saunders book has the breakdown of topics included in the Nclex. NCSBN should have question breakdowns as well in one o...

9. Understanding the NCLEX pass/fail method

   ckypp replied to ONELUV-RN's topic in NCLEX

   If your test shuts off at 75 questions, it can mean you either did really really well OR very poorly. If you take all 265 questions and PASS, it means you did pretty well, but barely. If you take all 265 and FAIL, it still means you did pretty well, ...

10. Looking for study tips that really work.

    ckypp replied to beefsolady's topic in NCLEX

    I hope you took advantage of their Qbank to its fullest. Not sure how many questions are in their Qbank only package, but you should aim for doing ALL of them. I took Kaplan's premium package (courses and all), but I failed my nclex. Don't let that d...

11. Has anyone ever tried the Pearson Vue trick and not have it work?

    ckypp replied to exhaustedstudent's topic in NCLEX

    So far the PVT has been 100% accurate for my 2 friends and I. Unfortunately, none of us got the good pop-up, instead we were taken to the credit card page allowing us to re-register. One friend did the PVT right after he finished his test (same day)....

12. Failed NCLEX, need a job, can I be a CNA in CA?

    ckypp replied to ckypp's topic in NCLEX

    I probably would roll the mannequin onto the floor. I don't know my own strength That last part is pretty reassuring, but I would be really nervous for the skills test because it's been so long since I've had clinical experience. Hopefully I can fin...

13. Failed NCLEX, need a job, can I be a CNA in CA?

    ckypp replied to ckypp's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks for the reply. Let's say I do get an interview for a CNA position, would it be wise to emphasize a certain level of loyalty if they were to hire me? Telling them I will work for them as an RN as soon as I pass the NCLEX? But in the event I do ...

14. Failed NCLEX, need a job, can I be a CNA in CA?

    ckypp posted a topic in NCLEX

    I failed the nclex twice and in california, it costs $150 to reapply to the Board (BON), and another $200 for the exam at pearsonvue. Im currently repaying loans, so my savings are drying up fast! Is it possible to become a nursing assistant just wit...

15. NCLEX prep for students out of nursing school over several years

    ckypp replied to ajax61's topic in NCLEX

    To original poster, just out of curiousity, what job did you take up after nursing school without your RN license? If anyone else knows, is it possible to become a nursing assistant without taking certification test in California? I failed the nclex...
